Jennifer Walden grew up in Austin. In the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, she acted as her class salutatorian. In New York, Jennifer built a thriving practice after she had completed a fellowship of aesthetic surgery at Manhattan Ear, Throat and Eye hospital. She acted as the co-author of Aesthetic plastic surgery book.

A review of Jennifer Walden’s story.

Jennifer Walden said that for eight years she practiced plastic surgery. She said that she exclusively focused on cosmetic surgery which included face-lifts, rhinoplasties, eyelid lifts, and breast augmentation. Jennifer reported that an enlargement cost $7000, a nose job costs between $8000 and $ 9000. Jennifer performed liposuction on the inner thighs, arms, and abdomen and at low chances invasive procedures which included injecting Botox as well as soft-tissue fillers. Jennifer knew she was a rarity because few doctors went into cosmetic plastic surgery.

Among the board-certified 8100 plastic surgeons countrywide, 851 were women, and among them, only 180 were members of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in American Society. The surgeon was male-dominated, and one of the reasons that Jennifer thought was that it was because one went through 5 years of training in post-medical school. One then went to a fellowship for one or two years to become a surgeon. It meant for a woman delaying to bear children. The unwelcoming nature of the culture of surgery to women being rough explained why there were fewer women who worked in medicine.
